Ascension Bay Expedition

Fly Fishing the Riviera Maya of the Yucatan

The sleepy Mexican fishing village of Punta Allen, known as the permit capital of the world, is the setting for this amazing fishing Adventure! Located close enough to Cancun to be convenient, but far enough away to avoid the crowds, Punta Allen boasts miles of deserted white sand beaches, and the nearby Sian Ka’an Biosphere Reserve provides excellent habitat for Permit, Bonefish, and juvenile Tarpon. The morning after our arrival, we will explore the Mayan ruins located in Tulum, then catch our water taxi to Punta Allen. We will spend 3 full days fishing with local guides while staying 4 nights at an intimate lodge in Punta Allen. Sound interesting? Send us an email at info@lillardflyfishing.com for more details.
